work wardrobe capsule / week 1

Here you go, first week of my work wardrobe capsule. I didn’t buy anything new just for this capsule, I wanted to shop my own closet. I wanted to take inventory of what I had, whittle down my wardrobe for the next several months and see how it goes.

I got a few compliments at work this week. Even though I’ve worn these clothes before, this is the first time I’ve planned my outfits ahead of time and actually being intentional in how I’m wearing them to mix and match. I didn’t feel rushed in the morning and in the past, I was used to wearing something “good enough because I’m rushing around getting ready in the morning”…..but instead, this week I felt calm and put together and I loved what I wore.

I always have a black blazer hanging in my office, so I put that on whenever I have to go into a meeting. So if you see an outfit where I’m wearing sleeveless or a “little too casual”, then most likely, I am wearing the black blazer whenever I step out of my office.

I’ve been asked many times to list dishes that are in our current dinner rotation. I usually draw blank and can’t get to 10 dishes, usually I remember about 5 dishes right on the spot. But later on, when I browse this blog or look at my recipe boards on Pinterest, I realize all […]

It’s another scorcher of a week here in SoCal. This year I’m really looking forward to Fall season, more than I’ve done in years past, but it looks like Summer wants to stay awhile longer. I’m normally an outdoorsy girl, but lately, I’ve been overheating from the 100 degrees weather we are having and opted […]

What a whirlwind of a week it has been. It was busy, busy with back to back events. It was so much fun, it went by so fast but I wouldn’t have it any other way. In a week, I had my bridal shower, celebrated my 30th birthday, ran a 10K for She Runs L.A. and […]

We started our trip to Mammoth before the crack of dawn this year. Chris and I had a 4am wake up call. Our friends met us at our house and we left by 6am. We bypassed L.A.’s morning gridlock and drove thru Mojave a few hours later. We passed by the airplane graveyard. I thought […]

Last week’s family meals had lot of greens. However, it was just my toddler and I at the table for most of the days, as the hubby was travelling at the end of the week. We hosted my mom and brothers this weekend. We had plans to go the beach and had our picnic food […]

I’ve got plums. Tons of plums. My friend Sena has plum trees in her backyard and I went to town picking at the ripe, juicy fruits. I have never picked plums straight from the tree. It was a lot of fun picking them. Some of the fruits were so ripe that only a slight touch […]

Thank you everyone for all your sweet comments on the engagement pictures sneak peek. I received a few emails with funny comments from friends. Funny comments such as “Oh go get your own barn”, “The pictures are channeling Bella and Edward in the woods” and “Keep the boots on, if you know what I mean”. […]

I am a visual person, and I love capturing things, places and people that makes me happy. I love posting my pictures on Instagram, and have completely ditched Facebook for most part. I also love that I can catalogue pictures that are alike by using a hashtag. Sometimes, seeing the whole series of pictures creates […]
